Asparagus rolls with ham wrapped in dough: the dough for the rolls
This is a very simple yeast dough *. If there is anything left of it, it is ideal for pizza bags or stick bread in the secondary recycling .
The rolling and closing
First of all, the asparagus must of course be peeled and pre-cooked. Then there is nothing standing in the way of quick preparation. Cut the asparagus once in the middle . And cut the same length of rectangles from the rolled out dough, a slice of ham on top and half the asparagus is now wrapped in it. To make the roll stick better, the last piece of the dough is smeared with a whisked egg. This serves as a kind of glue .
